Imo, antag escalation chart sucks for everyone. I do not like the frustration over whether or not someone is following escalation rules because one side see it different than the other side, yet adding escalation chart only makes you ending up MORE frustrated about it. It doesn't help that gamers tend to do things on muscle memories, so you expect people to react and act according to a table on a wiki page while people will ended up forget what one does to one. I do not want to be "shoot first, talk later" officer because one antag have to be escalated, the other don't.
Also, revs and nukies, I have iterate this so many times, even in ideal world where everyone RP accordingly and we had the most HRP well written story of all times, these two game modes, it cuts round into shorter shift. RP expectation is 100 minute rounds, even when station was cut in half, people still want to keep it near 100 minutes Nukie and Revs ended when certain requirement are met and it will usually always be short. You may make these round type rarer, but you can't control the 0.001% chance of the server rolling into nukie round 5 rounds in a row, which would annoy some players. Admin controlled nukie and revs is a far better option.
Imo, the roleplay between crew and antag quality has been a bit worse than it used too (Ie. I have seen people getting mad when I interact with a vamp mechanic and reacted to the mechanic as if they are not vamp, still hostile, because I didn't want to say through character "Wow you are actually vampire because I read the wiki about vampire"), adding escalation chart will only make it worse and more confusing. Even I have issues when I started talking as critter, only for people even in character acting as if it is griefing for talking with antagonist or listening to them. I do not want this because more people will start acting as if you shouldn't communicate or emote with antags because they are on "do not need escalation" chart
